1.1.6
- Three more watches can install it. ShotPace now ships to the fēnix 8 Solar 51mm, the fēnix 9 Pro Solar 51mm and the Enduro 3, alongside the tactix 8 Solar 51mm that shares the fēnix 8 Solar's hardware. They have the same screen as the fēnix 7X, so the app is identical on them: same layouts, same cues, same everything. Nothing changed for a 7X.
- And ten more, a size down. The fēnix 7, 7 Pro, 7S and 7S Pro, the 47 mm fēnix 8 Solar and fēnix 9 Pro Solar, the quatix 7, and the Forerunner 955 and 255. These have a smaller screen than the watch the app was built on, and every screen in ShotPace is measured as it is drawn rather than placed at fixed positions, so text gets smaller instead of getting cut off.
- Said plainly, because it is worth saying: nobody has yet seen these screens on a 240 or 260 pixel display. If something is cut off, overlapping or unreadable on your watch, that is a bug worth reporting - not something you should have to work around. The documentation site says the same thing, in both languages.
- And the AMOLED watches. fēnix 8 and 8 Pro, fēnix 9 and 9 Pro, fēnix E, epix and epix Pro, tactix 8, tactix 7 AMOLED, quatix 8, Forerunner 970, 965 and 265, Venu 2, 3, 3S, 4 and X1, vívoactive 5 and 6, and the Instinct 3 AMOLED. The app went from 10 watches to 53 in this release.
- The one to be careful about. An AMOLED screen lights and blanks differently from the fēnix 7X's. ShotPace is built so you never have to look at the watch during a string - it vibrates and it beeps - but it still has to be readable when you do look, and that has been checked on a fēnix 7X and not yet on an AMOLED one. If a screen dims or goes unreadable mid-sequence on your watch, please report it.
- The shot detection limitations screen no longer cuts off its own sentences. In French, six of its seven lines stopped mid-sentence - the one telling you to check the count before saving among them - and the English ones were close to it. The screen is the one you have to read before turning detection on, so this was the worst possible place for it. Every line is now shown in full, on every watch size.
- The glance no longer cuts off the name of your last session. A long event name ran off the end of the strip with nothing to show it had been cut. It is now shortened with
...so you can see that there is more. - The home screen no longer overlaps itself on some watches. On a few models the restriction notice ran past the bottom of the screen and
Press STARTwas drawn across it. The text now shrinks to fit whatever screen it is on. Nothing changes on a fēnix 7X. - The par time shown during a stage no longer risks running off the side of the screen on watches with larger text.
- The flashlight cue no longer appears in Settings on watches that have no flashlight. The fēnix 7, 7S and the Forerunners do not have one, and the switch would have turned on and never done anything.
- If your watch is not on the list at all, it is not an oversight. A watch with a different kind of screen has to be looked at before it is promised.
docs/DEVICES.mdsays which ones are worth doing next and which ones can never run this.
1.1.5
- Nothing changed on the watch. This release is the documentation and the store listing; no file the app runs was touched, so the only difference you can see on the wrist is the version in Settings.
- Online documentation, in English and French, with a page for every discipline and the screenshot of the screen it describes: https://www.nilorea.net/Garmin/ShotPace/index.html
- This changelog, and a copy of it on that site.
1.1.4
- Shot detection no longer counts a single shot twice. The rejection window that is meant to ignore the wrist still ringing after a shot was set to the middle of the range it had to cover instead of above it, so on many wrists every shot was counted as two, at every sensitivity setting. Found on a range, and the fix is measured rather than guessed.
- Calibration now aims correctly. It was learning the recoil direction from every impulse it saw rather than the five shots it selected, which on a doubled string cancelled itself out and stored a direction at right angles to the real one. Any profile calibrated before this release should be cleared and made again.
- The calibration screen now says to press START when the five shots are fired. BACK discards the string, and nothing on the screen said so.
- Settings rows update as you press them. Every menu in the app was leaving the old value on screen until you left the menu and came back, which made changing a setting look like it had done nothing.
1.1.3
- Twelve more disciplines, bringing the total to nineteen: USPSA, ICORE, SASS, Multigun, PRS, NRA Silhouette, F-Class, IMSSU Silhouette, Benchrest, CMP As-Issued Military Rifle, CMP Highpower Rifle and MLAIC Muzzle Loading.
- Benchrest group sizes are entered digit by digit, to a thousandth of an inch, because a caliper reading cannot be dialled on a stepper.
- Each discipline now says what its governing body's rulebook allows on the firing line, and one of them permits a watch under conditions.
- Shot counting was switched back on for two disciplines where it had been disabled by reading an equipment rule as if it were physics.
1.1.2
- Four more disciplines: NRA Bullseye, Steel Challenge, ISSF 25 m and IDPA.
- Shot counting became a per-discipline capability. Where the conditions do not hold the counter is hidden rather than shown and wrong, and each discipline chooses the sensitivity that suits what is usually fired there.
- Every discipline now carries a sheet you can read in the app: its governing body, the language its commands are in, what a shot count is worth there, and whether its figures have been checked against the rulebook.
- TSV course sizes and range commands corrected against the IPSC handbook.
1.1.1
- Maintenance release.
1.1.0
- SimpleShoot: a clock and a shot count, with no rulebook behind either.
- Shot detection, off by default and behind a limitations screen. The watch can count shots from the recoil impulse in its accelerometer, with per-firearm calibration and a direction check. It is experimental, it is not a timer, and every count stays editable before it is saved.
- Cues no longer register as shots: the detector is blanked whenever the watch is about to vibrate.
1.0.1
- First versioned release. TAR with its thirteen-event catalogue, TSV with rulebook profiles, drills you build yourself, score entry, history and statistics, a FIT activity per session, the glance, and the whole interface in English and French.
